Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Compressed Air Systems with Sure Instrument's Vortex Flow Meter

Are you aware that compressed air doesn't come for free?

In fact, it's a significant consumer of energy within the manufacturing industry. According to a survey by the U.S. Department of Energy:

• Compressed air systems account for 10% of all electricity used in manufacturing.

• 70% of U.S. manufacturing plants operate compressed air systems.

• Half of these plants have opportunities to save substantial energy at low project costs.

Despite the high energy consumption, awareness of compressed air efficiency in manufacturing facilities alarmingly lacks. The primary focus of factory often remains on providing a reliable and stable supply of compressed air, with efficiency taking a back seat. While some manufacturers have service contracts for their equipment, few address system efficiency. A staggering 35% conduct leak detection programs, while 57% take no action to improve system efficiency.

Leaks in compressed air systems can waste 20%-30% of a compressor's output, leading to unnecessary energy consumption.

A study by the U.S. Department of Energy found that 80% of compressor upgrades can be achieved without investing in new machines, simply by implementing low-cost system upgrades and effective leak detection and repair programs.

At Sure Instrument, we understand the importance of data transparency and visualization in compressed air systems. That's why we offer a comprehensive monitoring solution to enhance energy management in industrial compressed air systems.

Introducing our Compressed Air Monitoring Solution:

The vortex flow meter from Sure Instrument provides continuous monitoring of compressed air velocity, volumetric flow rate, pressure, and temperature. By installing it in a specific area, production line, or machine, you can quickly identify leaks and consumption values. The integrated pressure measurement ensures that actuators operate at maximum efficiency, eliminating the need for separate pressure measurement devices. With our online customized module, we can calculate the unit energy consumption and energy-saving rate of two compressors before and after modification.

The Sure Instrument Compressed Air Energy Efficiency Online Monitoring System includes:

1. Vortex flow meters for precise flow measurement.

2. Power measurement components to track energy consumption.

3. A data information service platform for real-time data analysis.

This system not only monitors the electricity consumption and air production of compressors in real-time but also uploads the data to our information service platform. It analyzes the instantaneous specific power and unit energy consumption of individual compressors, aiding in project progress and monitoring the operational status of equipment on-site. Identify and respond to unusual problems in a timely manner to recover customer losses.

Clients can stay informed about the real-time dynamics of various project sites from anywhere, at any time, facilitating timely settlements with users. They can also monitor the operational status of compressors in real-time, conduct maintenance promptly, and trace measurement data from past periods.

By choosing Sure Instrument's Compressed Air Energy Efficiency Online Monitoring System, you're taking a step towards more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective operations. Join us in revolutionizing energy management in the compressed air sector.
